Red Hat Training
A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Satellite
12.4. Conducting Red Hat Satellite-Specific Tasks
Using the Red Hat Satellite web interface is similar to using the hosted version of Red Hat Network. For this reason, consult the Red Hat Satellite Reference Guide to obtain detailed instructions for standard tasks, such as editing System Profiles and updating packages. Tasks directly related to managing custom channels and errata are covered in the Red Hat Satellite Channel Management Guide. This section seeks to explain activities available only to Red Hat Satellite customers.
12.4.1. Deleting Users
Due to the isolated environment in which Red Hat Satellites operate, Red Hat grants customers the ability to delete users. To delete users:
- Click Users in the top navigation bar of the Red Hat Network website.
- Click the name of the user to be removed.
- Click the delete user link at the top-right corner of the page.
- A confirmation page appears explaining that this removal is permanent. To continue, click Delete User at the bottom-right corner of the page.
Note
Remove the Organization Administrator role from the user's profile before deleting the user from the Red Hat Satellite. Failing to do so causes the delete operation to fail.
Any Organization Administrator may remove the Organization Administrator role provided they are not the sole Organization Administrator for the organization. To do so, click the Users tab and then click the Details subtab.
Many other options exist for managing users. You can find instructions for them in the Red Hat Network website chapter of the Red Hat Satellite Reference Guide.
12.4.2. Configuring Red Hat Satellite Search
Red Hat Satellite Administrators can configure certain search options to customize search results for their own optimization requirements.
Customize Red Hat Satellite search results with the
/usr/share/rhn/config-defaults/rhn_search.conf
file. The following list defines the search configuration and their default values in parentheses.
- search.index_work_dir
- Specifies where Lucene indexes are kept (
/usr/share/rhn/search/indexes
). - search.rpc_handlers
- Semi-colon separated list of classes to act as handlers for XMLRPC calls.
(filename>index:com.redhat.satellite.search.rpc.handlers.IndexHandler, db:com.redhat.satellite.search.rpc.handlers.DatabaseHandler, admin:com.redhat.satellite.search.rpc.handlers.AdminHandler)
- search.max_hits_returned
- Maximum number of results which will be returned for the query (
500
). - search.connection.driver_class
- JDBC driver class to conduct database searches (
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
). - search.score_threshold
- Minimum score a result needs to be returned back as query result (
.10
). - search.system_score_threshold
- Minimum score a system search result needs to be returned back as a query result (
.01
). - search.errata_score_threshold
- Minimum score an errata search result needs to be returned back as a query result (
.20
). - search.errata.advisory_score_threshold
- Minimum score an errata advisory result needs to be returned back as a query result (
.30
). - search.min_ngram
- Minimum length of n-gram characters. Note that any change to this value requires
clean-index
to be run, and doc-indexes need to be modified and rebuilt (1
). - search.max_ngram
- Maximum length of n-gram characters. Note that any change to this value requires
clean-index
to be run, and doc-indexes need to be modified and rebuilt (5
). - search.doc.limit_results
- Type
true
to limit the number of results both on search.score_threshold and restrict max hits to be below search.max_hits_returned; typefalse
means to return all documentation search matches (false
). - search.schedule.interval
- Input the time in milliseconds to control the interval with which the SearchServer polls the database for changes; the default is 5 minutes (
300000
). - search.log.explain.results
- Used during development and debugging. If set to true, this will log additional information showing what influences the score of each result (
false
).
